Explanation: FY 2001 data established the baseline. The data reflect information provided by projects that are funded through the Special Demonstrations program and use the Web-based reporting system.

Limitations: The Web-based system that grantees use for reporting provides raw data, but does not aggregate the numbers needed, which has resulted in hand counting to obtain the information required.

Improvements: The Department of Education internal programmer is being assisted by an outside contractor to correct this problem.

Indicator 8.1.2 of 2: Improvement: It is anticipated that the impact of interactions, presentations, and information made to and by state VR agencies will increase referral of individuals to or from VR agencies, thereby expanding service provision.
